....
I saw that, just thought it was a turn 21 plan. My bad!How did you manage to miss me talking about the Name hit squad?
Scrying Copper (and her cult) is already in the plan, Windy can wait until Copper is officially turned to paste.
I'm pretty sure we were scouted, based on that "detailed map".
But Mareinette does have Our Lady of Wires, which perhaps made her less remarkable as a threat, and we only summoned Biedde this turn.
...
I think the war only ends if we get rid of all of our opponents, not just Copper. But she is also our enemy so killing her might be enough.
Huh, I missed the map thing. That's… interesting. Very interesting.
Sure, I'll play along.
I... don't really see how it could be? I think this has been brought up before but... I really don't see how Copper could possibly make the connection between "the Woods are now Ash and they're trying to eat me" and "Velvet Covers".
I think Copper is in a weird situation in which she thinks she's knowledgeable about the Mansus, but really isn't. If you think about it, Grail is her primary Lore, and she likely has a decent chunk of Winter given she has Neighna. However, with how the original cult was set up, she wasn't in charge of developing the cult's knowledge. She was in charge of recruiting. And the actual amount of "stuff" we provided was the cult wasn't... much.
Imagine if it is just secret backdoor to the Royal Vault
Scrying for Manuscrips as a way to find Copper is just asking to misdirect ourself. Imagine if they were taken by totally unrelated group like Hintchasers.
Seems like a plan. Tell Mariennete to befriend most useless to us pony on our contact list to use for the Sacrament purpose. Even better if she considers possibility of it being Grail Sacrament . Because proper motivation is important
She would be quite good at assaulting proto-hive I think, no holds barred, tons of health, artifact that allows her escape if things go south. We likely will keep delaying it, but still wanted to point that it is possibility, we have money. Blowing up mountain would be more therapeutic, than worrying over Velvet's bed and we can get access to Changeling bodies. Either for Risen or to plant false evidence in Manehatten. If we don't want for Celestia to lose faith in her ponies we can as well blame everything on changelings.
Also, as another complete aside, but… I just find this really funny. Velvet, even when literally being the walking fucking dead and losing all her Edge Lore, was still swinging almost twice the combat bonus that Shining Armor had. I almost feel sorry for the pony that had to fight her.
Fair enough. It would be kinda funny if she scried Velvet, saw her with almost no defenses, and still decided to throw four Influenced thugs and a Windigo. No kill like overkill… except when it turns out to be very severe underkill for no reason.
Let's remember that, as we were so recently reminded, information blackout is a thing.
)I mean... we are all-but-dead right now, and would be if not for a realization she didn't know about. (Yes, we did get unlucky, but still). It seems like an appropriate level of kill!
Also, keep in mind... when we last left the cult, they had literally 0 Lantern*. We never wrote any Lantern manuscripts from them.
Only because Velvet was wounded due to another unforeseen event. A two health Velvet would still be on one right now, and relatively fine.
Seriously? Huh, I thought we had…Also, keep in mind... when we last left the cult, they had literally 0 Lantern. We never wrote any Lantern manuscripts from them.
Their RotTs aren't likely to be particularly high quality
Or, well, +46 isn't bad. Not sure what the actual level is there.
Oh right, the cadre. Yeah, that would compensate for the low Lantern level quite a bit. She might have also found a Lantern artifact, since she probably has a lot more bits to throw around than we do.
Not that she blames Velvet exactly(but her hate could make her think that) but that Ash made her desperate enough to just do it to get rid of one of her problems. Just taking out her traumas and hardships by hating Velvet, the usual for her.
To put it simply
That isn't the reason as to why i want that to happen.Seems like a plan. Tell Mariennete to befriend most useless to us pony on our contact list to use for the Sacrament purpose. Even better if she considers possibility of it being Grail Sacrament . Because proper motivation is important
Makes sense.
As long as we're cool her w/ possibly not being able to take a commission next turn, sure. I think the only outstanding costs that are absolutely necessary for T21 would be FR (20 + 45) and Biedde's refresh (60 bits), but that's well within our normal income. Technically she might also end up taking some other action, but either way another die gets thrown at the Outsider.
Uh… doesn't it use Learning? Comet and Rarity should give at least some bonus, even if they don't have SH.
Heh.
in a way we did.
well, she DID have the edge influence. Otherwise it would have JUST been a +8.
Baldomare is +80. 50 general, and SH6 = +30, WITH REROLL.
This is what I'd push for.
Intrigue actually, iirc.
Because Baldomare can superscry so we can make sure that Copper will stop being a problem and Rarity can't
Oops, good catch! Fixed.
Yeah, we need to go all in on Copper, reducing the chance factor to a minimum...not that said methods always work out.Because Baldomare can superscry so Copper will stop being a problem and Rarity can't
The power of having four different Names at our disposalAlso, on that one mass social plan with Incarnadescence, I just want to say that I am highly amused by the idea of so many people getting to experience the walking corpse of Velvet Covers. Especially with the Cannibal Name's full Influence on her.
More seriously, a mostly dead pony still swinging some +60-ish to social is definitely an interesting image. That's gonna be some real tragic beauty shit right there.
